To those having contractions...

When I'm actually having one, she usually doesn't move..sometimes when they're over she'll move a little bit but it's not too bad....

So I am a STM but CLUELESS to contractions. I was induced with my first and went from nothing to very intense ones because of the pitocin in a matter of seconds, and got an epi right away. Anyway....I also don't remember this from my first.

When you have one, does your baby go absolutely NUTS?! I assume it must feel weird for them heh?? Like when I have one he moves like mad and flops around lol

Honestly I have been having contractions for a few days I guess I just didn't know because I thought it was just the pressure from baby moving so much! Only found out through being hooked up last night that it was actually contractions all along.

my LO seems to be super active but I can't tell if it's before or after a contraction

I am in the exact same position! Pitocin induction with DD and now I'm actually starting to have contractions at home. Baby doesn't tend to move much during contractions because everything gets so tight.

Mine last for hours and are pretty close together, so I don't usually notice any increase in movement. On the way home from work yesterday they were way more spread out, and the little one didn't seem happy. I told the baby the best way to stop the contractions was to go with them and head toward the light. This kid already doesn't take my advice.

I think for me it goes both ways. I notice it hurts more if baby moves when I'm having a contraction. I just don't know how I'm supposed to tell when it's labour. I've heard I'll know and I've heard that I'll have to time them to be sure.

DS did not stop moving through contractions. But it felt like he only stopped moving about 2 minutes at a time a few times a day.
